    Excerpt
    The government is eyeing to culture a previously undiscovered Philippine oyster whos DNA is now under study so as to name it as Surigao Barobo Bay's unique oyster species that could give livelihood and export opportunities to wild gatherers. The culture has the potential to raise Philippines' oyster production which at one time stood at 19,000 metric tons- in 1982. The income prospect must be big considering oyster's price at around P300 to P400 per kilo for unshelled oyster.
